377: Chapter 378 Master Lin!

The Immortal Cave was quiet, with only a few eternal lamps in the corners emitting a soft glow.

She slowly walked to the stone couch covered in soft animal fur deep within the Immortal Cave and stood there in silence for a moment.

Then, she lowered her head, reached out, and gently placed her hand upon her lower abdomen.

That slender, pale hand rested against her lower abdomen through the thin purple fabric, her gaze extremely complex.

Meanwhile—at the school on Longmai Mountain.

Dozens of low tables were arranged neatly, with a focused figure sitting behind each one.

Ye Changge stood on the podium, holding a vermilion Talisman brush in his hand, calmly sketching on a blank piece of Talisman paper in front of him.

Over thirty people sat below, all of whom were his wives, concubines, and descendants. Everyone sat up straight, their gazes focused, listening intently.

"The way of the Talisman may seem complex, but in reality, all changes stem from the same source."

"The so-called 'Talisman' is the manifestation of the rules of Heaven and Earth. And the 'record' is the means to Seal this power within a square inch."

"To draw a qualified Talisman, one must first achieve a level of control over Spiritual Qi that is meticulous and subtle.

It cannot be a fraction too much or a hair too little; otherwise, the Spiritual Qi will leak, and the Talisman will be ruined, wasting the brush."

As he spoke, he gently placed the completed Golden Armor Talisman on the table and casually picked up another blank piece of Talisman paper:

"Therefore, what we are going to learn today is the method for drawing a High Grade First-Order 'Breeze Talisman'.

This Talisman is not of a high rank, and the flow of Spiritual Qi is relatively simple, but if you can draw it well and understand it thoroughly, you will be able to apply the knowledge to other areas."

Just as Ye Changge was about to explain the details of the Spiritual Qi circulation for the "Breeze Talisman" in more depth, the Yin and Yang Talisman hanging at his waist suddenly lit up slightly.

His heart stirred slightly.

Ye Changge put down the Talisman brush, turned to the people below, and said gently: "We will stop here for today. I have a guest visiting, I shall return shortly.

Lu Shiyin, you may explain the basic cultivation methods to them in my stead."

His footsteps were light, his figure flickered, turning into a streak of pale golden light as he sped towards the gate of Longmai Mountain.

Before long, he arrived at the mountain gate.

Looking from afar, he saw three people standing outside the mountain gate. The leader was dressed in white robes, her posture ethereal, her temperament as cold as frost and snow; it was Xia Qingyue, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Ye Changge landed in front of the mountain gate, cupped his hands in return, and said with a sincere smile: "Fellow Daoist Xia, it has been a long time. You have come from afar, and I, Ye, failed to welcome you in time. I hope you will forgive me."

Xia Qingyue nodded slightly, her clear, cold voice like a spring: "Fellow Daoist Ye is too polite."

She stepped aside to reveal the two people behind her: "This is Master Lin, a Guest Elder of our Lingxiao Sect. He specializes in the Dao of Formation, and his cultivation and attainments are among the best in our sect's Formation Hall. This is Master Lin's disciple, Xu Ming."

Behind her stood an old man in grey robes, appearing to be about sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and a thin Face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing a sense of composure as if he had everything under control.

A Second-Order Formation Master!

Ye Changge looked at Xia Qingyue, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

Xia Qingyue noticed his gaze, her expression remained cold, but her clear voice softened slightly: "Master Lin is an old acquaintance of mine. Hearing that Fellow Daoist Ye needed to set up a Grand Array, he volunteered to come and take a look."

Hearing this, Ye Changge felt an extra warmth in his heart.

He turned to Master Lin, cupped his hands in a salute, and said with a sincere and polite tone: "So it is Master Lin and his disciple. I have long admired your name. I, Ye, am but a junior in Foundation Establishment. Great Master, please enter!"

Seeing Ye Changge being so polite, Master Lin returned the salute with a resonant voice and a hint of a smile: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ye. You are too polite. This old man has just lived a few more years and only understands the basics of the Dao of Formation; I do not deserve such praise from you."

If it were the Old Ancestor of an ordinary small Family, he really wouldn't need to be this polite. But this time, it was Xia Qingyue who personally came to find him with Master Meng's token, making it clear that this Fellow Daoist Ye had a close relationship with both Xia Qingyue and Master Meng.

Given Master Meng's status in the Lingxiao Sect, Master Lin dared not refuse to give her Face.

Although this Master Lin usually had a somewhat arrogant personality, his attitude was naturally much more respectful at this moment.

He followed behind Ye Changge, walking slowly up the bluestone mountain path, observing the surrounding terrain and landforms as he walked, nodding inwardly. The Spiritual Qi here was indeed quite dense, and the lay of the mountains faintly formed a natural Spirit-Gathering pattern. Although it was not top-tier, it could be considered a rare treasure land in such a remote corner.

The group entered the villa's main hall and took their seats as host and guests. A maid served Spiritual tea, the fragrance of the tea curling upwards, filling the room with scent.

Master Lin picked up his teacup and took a sip. After putting it down, he got straight to the point: "You mentioned in your letter earlier that you needed to set up a Grand Array. I wonder if you have any specific requirements for the Grand Array?"

Although he spoke politely, his tone carried a certain certainty unique to professionals—if the requirements proposed by the other party were too outrageous, he could correct them in time.

Ye Changge smiled candidly upon hearing this: "To tell you the truth, regarding Formations, I only have a rough idea and do not understand much."

He paused and continued: "However, I have a Dao Companion who is herself a Formation Master. Why don't I have her come over and discuss the details with you, Great Master?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lin's eyes flashed with surprise: "Oh? Your Dao Companion is also a fellow practitioner of the Dao of Formation?"

"Indeed." Ye Changge nodded, "Her surname is Xiao, given name Caiyue. She runs a Formation shop in Qingxuan Immortal City and has quite a few insights into the Dao of Formation. It is just that she is slightly unwell and cannot travel far; she happens to be recuperating on Longmai Mountain these few days. I will have someone invite her over right now."

Master Lin stroked his beard and nodded, a look of anticipation appearing on his Face: "I have long heard that you have a wife who is also a Second-Order Formation Master. That is excellent."

Although his words were polite, the seriousness in his tone could not be faked. After all, different professions are like mountains apart; some Cultivators who do not understand Formations are self-righteous and forcibly demand the arrangement of Formations that are completely unreasonable, and true Formation Masters find it difficult to argue directly, making it easy for conflicts to arise between the two sides.

Master Lin's willingness to communicate with peers in this way just happened to save a lot of trouble.

He stood up with a smile: "Then please wait a moment, Great Master. I, Ye, will return shortly."

After speaking, he nodded slightly to Xia Qingyue, turned around, walked out of the main hall, and walked quickly towards the direction of the backyard.

The woman under the flowering tree raised her head; it was none other than Xiao Caiyue.

She was wearing a water-blue casual dress today, her black hair tied up casually behind her head, with a few strands of hair falling by her cheeks, making her look gentle and quiet.

She put down the book in her hand and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Husband, you are so happy; what distinguished guest has come?"

"A Formation Master from the Lingxiao Sect, surnamed Lin."
